R410A Refrigerant
R410A refrigerant has a higher operating pressure in comparison to R22 refrigerant and, therefore, all piping system materials installed must
have a higher resisting pressure than the materials traditionally used in R22 systems.
R410A refrigerant is an azeotrope of R32 and R125, mixed at 50:50, so the ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0. Many countries have
approved of and encouraged R410A for use as an alternate refrigerant.
Do not use any piping that has not been approved for use in high-pressure refrigerant systems. There is risk of fire, explosion and
physical injury or death. Improper piping may also cause refrigerant leaks. If the refrigerant leaks and safety limits are exceeded, it could
result in personal injuries or death from oxygen depletion.
Do not place the refrigerant cylinder in direct sunlight. There is risk of fire, explosion, and physical injury or death.
Do not use any piping that has not been approved for use in high-pressure refrigerant systems. Improper piping may cause refrigerant
leaks and system malfunction.
Piping wall thickness must comply with the applicable local, state, and federal codes for the 551 psi design pressure of R410A.
Because R410A is a combination of R32 and R125, the required additional refrigerant must be charged in its liquid state. If the refrigerant is charged in its gaseous state, its composition changes and the system will not work properly.

Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ. All rights reserved. LG is a registered trademark of LG Corp.
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not install the unit in an area where combustible gas may generate, flow, stagnate, or leak.
Do not install the unit in a location where acidic solution and spray (sulfur) are often used as it can cause bodily injury or death.
Do not use the unit in environments where oil, steam, or sulfuric gas are present as it can cause bodily injury or death.
Install a fence to prevent vermin from crawling into the unit or unauthorized individuals from accessing it.
To ensure the outdoor unit operates properly, certain measures are required in locations where there is a possibility of heavy snowfall or severe windchill or cold:
1. Prepare for severe winter wind chills and heavy snowfall, even in areas of the country where these are unusual phenomena.
2. Position the outdoor unit so that its airflow fans are not buried by direct, heavy snowfall. If snow piles up and blocks the airflow, the
system may malfunction.
3. Remove any snow that has accumulated 3-15/16 inches or more on the top of the outdoor unit.
4. Place the outdoor unit on a raised platform at least 19-11/16 inches higher than the average annual snowfall for the area. In environments
where there is a possibility of heavy snow, the frame height must be more than two (2) times the amount of average annual snowfall, and
should not exceed the width of the outdoor unit. If the frame width is wider than the outdoor unit, snow may accumulate.
5. Install a snow protection hood.
6. To prevent snow and heavy rain from entering the outdoor unit, install the suction and discharge ducts facing away from direct winds.
7. Additionally, the following conditions should be taken into consideration when the unit operates in defrost mode:
If the outdoor unit is installed in a highly humid environment (near an ocean, lake, etc.), ensure that the site is well-ventilated and has a lot of
natural light. (Example: Install on a rooftop.)
Sidewalks or parking lots near the outdoor unit may accumulate moisture after unit operates in defrost mode that can turn to ice.
The indoor unit may take longer to provide heat, or heating performance will be reduced in winter if the unit is installed:
1. In a narrow, shady location.
2. Near a location that has a lot of ground moisture.
3. In a highly humid environment.
4. In an area in which condensate does not drain properly.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.

Piping Preparation
Do not allow the refrigerant to leak during brazing; if the refrigerant combusts, it generates a toxic gas which can cause physical injury or death.
Do not braze in an enclosed location, and always test for gas leaks before/after brazing. Gas leaks can cause physical injury or death.
After brazing, check for refrigerant gas leaks. Refrigerant gas leaks can cause physical injury or death.

1. When connecting the flare nuts, coat the flare (inside and outside) with polyvinyl ether (PVE)
refrigeration oil only.
2. Initially hand tighten the flare nuts using three (3) or four (4) turns.
3. To finish tightening the flare nuts, use both a torque wrench and a backup wrench.
4. After all the piping has been connected and the caps have been tightened, check for refrigerant gas leaks.
Do not use polyolyester (POE) or any other type of mineral oil as a thread lubricant. These lubricants are not compatible with PVE oil used in
this system and create oil sludge leading to equipment damage and system malfunction.
Pipes used for the refrigerant piping system must include the specified thickness, and the
interior must be clean.
While handling and storing, do not bend or damage the pipes, and take care not to contaminate the interior with dust, moisture, etc. See Table 5 for care of piping.

Brazing Practices
It is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper
burrs, slag, or carbon dust during installation. Contaminants can result in mechanical
failure of the system.

All joints are brazed in the field. Single Zone Art Cool Mirror system refrigeration components contain very small capillary tubes, small orifices, electronic expansion valves, oil separators, and heat exchangers that can easily become blocked. Proper system operation depends on
the installer using best practices and utmost care while assembling the piping system.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.

While brazing, use a dry nitrogen purge operating at a minimum pressure of three (3) psig and maintain a steady flow.
Blow clean all pipe sections with dry nitrogen prior to assembly.
Use a tubing cutter, do not use a saw to cut pipe. De-burr and clean all cuts before assembly.
Store pipe stock in a dry place. Keep pipe capped and clean.
Use adapters to assemble different sizes of pipe.
Do not use flux, soft solder, or anti-oxidant agents.
Use a 15% silver phosphorous copper brazing alloy to avoid overheating and produce good flow.
Protect isolation valves, electronic expansion valves, and other heat-sensitive control components from excessive heat with a wet rag or a
heat barrier spray product.
Copper is the only approved refrigerant pipe material for use with Single Zone Art Cool Mirror systems, and LG recommends seamless phosphorous deoxidized ACR type copper pipe, hard-drawn rigid type K or L, or annealed-tempered, copper pipe.
Drawn temper (rigid) ACR copper tubing is available in sizes 3/8 through 2-1/8 inches (ASTM B 280, clean, dry, and capped).
Annealed temper (soft) ACR copper tubing is available in sizes 1/4 through 2-1/8 inches (ASTM B 280, clean, dry, and capped).
Tube wall thickness should meet local code requirements and be approved for an operating pressure of 551 psi. If local code does not
specify wall thickness, LG suggests using tube thickness per table below. When bending tubing, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and
use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed pipe; also, bending radii greater than ten (10) pipe diameters can minimize
pressure drop. Be sure no traps or sags are present when rolling out soft copper tubing coils.

1. From Table 9 find the row corresponding with the actual length of
the straight pipe segment.
2. Estimate the minimum and maximum temperature of the pipe.
In the column showing the minimum pipe temperature, look up the
anticipated expansion distance. Do the same for the maximum
pipe temperature.
3. Calculate the difference in the two expansion distance values.
The result will be the anticipated change in pipe length.
Example:
A system is installed and the design shows that there is a 100 foot
straight segment of tubing between an indoor unit and the outdoor
unit. In heating, this pipe transports hot gas vapor to the indoor units
at 120F. In cooling, the same tube is a suction line returning refrigerant vapor to the outdoor unit at 40F. Look up the copper tubing
expansion at each temperature and calculate the difference.
Vapor Line
Transporting Hot Vapor: 100 ft. pipe at 120 F = 1.40 in.
Transporting Suction Vapor: 100 ft. pipe at 40 F = 0.40 in.
Anticipated Change in Length: 1.40 in. 0.40 in. = 1.00 in.
Liquid Line
The liquid temperature remains relatively the same temperature; only
the direction of flow will reverse. No significant change in length of
the liquid line, therefore, is anticipated.
When creating an expansion joint, the joint height should be a
minimum of two times the joint width. Although different types of
expansion arrangements are available, the data for correctly sizing
an Expansion Loop is provided in Table 1010. Use soft copper with
long radius bends on longer runs or long radius elbows for shorter
pipe segments. Using the anticipated linear expansion (LE) distance
calculated, look up the Expansion Loop or U-bend minimum design
dimensions. If other types of expansion joints are chosen, design per
ASTM B-88 Standards.

Pipe Bends
When bending soft copper, use long radius bends. Refer to the "Radii of Coiled Expansion Loops and Developed Lengths of Expansion
Offsets table for minimum radius specifications, as shown on previous page.
LG allows the installation of field-supplied ball valves with Schrader ports at each indoor unit. Full-port isolation ball valves with Schrader
ports (positioned between valve and indoor unit) rated for use with R410A refrigerant should be used on both the liquid and vapor lines.
If valves are not installed and a single indoor unit needs to be removed or repaired, the entire system must be shut down and evacuated.
Position valves with a minimum distance of three (3) to six (6) inches of pipe on either side of the valve, and placed between six (6) and
twelve (12) inches from the run-out pipe to the upstream main pipe. If ball valves are installed closer to the indoor unit, a section of pipe
becomes a dead zone when the valves are closed where oil may accumulate.
Using Elbows
Field-supplied elbows are allowed as long as they are long radius and designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The designer, however,
should be cautious with the quantity and size of fittings used, and must account for the additional pressure losses in equivalent pipe length
calculation. The equivalent pipe length of each elbow must be added to each pipe segment (Table 11).

Pipe Supports
A properly installed pipe system should be adequately supported to avoid pipe sagging. Sagging pipes
become oil traps that lead to equipment malfunction.
Pipe supports should never touch the pipe wall; supports shall be installed outside (around) the
primary pipe insulation jacket (see Figure 25). Insulate the pipe first because pipe supports shall
be installed outside (around) the primary pipe insulation jacket. Clevis hangers should be used with
shields between the hangers and insulation. Field provided pipe supports should be designed to
meet local codes. If allowed by code, use fiber straps or split-ring hangers suspended from the ceiling on all-thread rods (fiber straps or split ring hangers can be used as long as they do not compress
the pipe insulation). Place a second layer of insulation over the pipe insulation jacket to prevent
chafing and compression of the primary insulation within the confines of the support pipe clamp.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.

23
Over time, dryers may deteriorate and introduce debris into the system. The designer and installer should verify the refrigerant piping system is free of
traps, sagging pipes, sight glasses, filter dryers, etc.
A properly installed pipe system will have sufficient supports to avoid pipes from sagging
during the life of the system. As necessary, place supports closer for segments where
potential sagging could occur. Maximum spacing of pipe supports shall meet local codes.
If local codes do not specify pipe support spacing, pipe shall be supported:
Maximum of five feet (5) on center for straight segments of pipe up to 3/4" outside
diameter size.
Maximum of six feet (6) on center for pipe up to one inch (1) outside diameter size.
Maximum of eight feet (8) on center for pipe up to two inches (2) outside diameter size.
Wherever the pipe changes direction, place pipe clamps within twelve (12) inches on
one side and within twelve to nineteen (12 to 19) inches of the bend on the other side as
shown in Figure 26.

Installation
Single Zone Art Cool Mirror systems are one-to-one systems. There is a direct piping connection between the outdoor unit and the indoor
unit. Figure 30 Illustrates the basic pipe connections between the outdoor and indoor unit. Refer back to this illustration as you proceed with
pipe connections. This illustration shows the indoor unit being installed at a higher position than the outdoor unit, however, should you install
the outdoor unit at a higher position than the indoor unit, the basic pipe connections should be the same.
Refer back to the table within the Connection Limitations section (above) for specific length limitations in conjunction with outdoor unit
and indoor unit positioning.

Pipe Bundling
See Figure 32 for proper pipe and cable bundling. Note the placement of the piping
along with the necessary insulation material.
1. Be sure to wrap each pipe with proper insulation material.
2. Secure the piping by wrapping vinyl tape around the pipe.
Use the narrow size tape for wrapping the actual pipe.
3. You can include the drain hose within the bundled piping and wrap all of them
together using the wider vinyl tape as shown in Figure 33.
The end of the drain hose outlet must be routed above the ground.

Refer to the diagrams below and follow proper installation and the running of the drain hose along the pipe installation line to avoid leakage. After the
drain hose is set in place, always follow with evacuation and leakage testing of all piping to be sure all piping is properly sealed. Re-check and retest
as necessary.
Drain hose is routed from the indoor unit through the structure (wall)
to the outdoor. It should slope at an angle where it is higher at the
indoor unit and lower toward the outdoor area, thereby letting gravity
push any condensation down and out. See Figure 36 for proper
drainage slope. Avoid piping the drain hose as shown in Figure 37.
These methods are incorrect and can cause leakage at the indoor
unit site.

Air purging is done to the piping system after all piping has been connected between the
indoor and outdoor unit. This step is necessary to be sure that air refrigerant can flow
through the system without danger of leakage or pressure issues. Air and moisture that
is left in the piping can lead to undesirable results and can cause damage to the working
unit. It is important to go through a complete air purging cycle to be sure that the lines are
cleared out. Note that you may have to repeat this process should any air or moisture be
found to remain in the piping. After air purging and evacuating the lines, be sure to take a
leak test for all piping and tubing.

Verify that all wiring for a test run has been completed.
2. Remove service valve caps from the gas and liquid valves at the outdoor unit (Figures 55
and 56).
Both the liquid and gas side service valves at the outdoor unit should be kept closed at
this step.
3. Set up the purging, hose connections by referring to Figure 57.
4. Do a Leak Test, by proceeding to Soap Water Method - Leak Testing section on next page.
Successful leak testing must be performed before Evacuation can begin.
5. Go to Evacuation section, on page 37 to complete the purging process.

Leak Test
Perform the leak test by pressurizing nitrogen gas to 550 psi on both the liquid and gas pipes. Test with the piping service valves closed. If
the pressure does not drop for twenty-four (24) hours, the system passes the test. If the pressure drops, there is a nitrogen leak in the system. Find the leak, repair, and then test again.
1. Connect the manifold valve (which includes the pressure gauges), along with dry nitrogen gas cylinder to the service valves
using charge hose (Figure 58).
2. Pressurize the system to maximum 550 psig with dry nitrogen
gas and close the cylinder valve when the gauge reading reaches
550 psig.
Use of combustible gases including oxygen, may result in fire or explosion.
Piping Bundle
1. Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves. See Figure 55
and 56.
2. To open the 2-way valve, turn the valve stem counter-clockwise
approximately 90, wait for about 2 to 3 seconds, and close it.
3. While running the nitrogen gas tank hookup, apply a soap water
or a liquid neutral detergent on the indoor unit connection or
outdoor unit connections by using a soft brush.
4. While running the pressure gauge system, observe the connections for any leaks.
If you see bubbles appearing at any of the connection points/joints
(at either inside and outside units), it is an indication of a leak.
5. Make a note of where the leaks are coming from along the liquid
and gas piping.
6. Disengage the nitrogen pressure by loosening the charge hose
connector at the nitrogen cylinder (Figure 58 above).
7. Once system pressure is reduced back to normal range, disconnect hose from the cylinder.
8. At this point you will need to make all repairs to connections and
piping where bubbles were observed.
9. Once all repairs are made, repeat soap testing using nitrogen
cylinder and check for any further leaks.
10. Once system is leak free, proceed to Evacuation steps.

To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state,
the top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you
pressurize the system.
Be sure cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.

Evacuation
After successful leak testing has been performed, follow Evacuation procedure. Follow the same steps for charge hose hookup to the system. See page 35 for proper hookup.
Procedure
Once the Evacuation procedure has been performed, follow the steps below to turn off all valves at the outdoor unit and safely disengage the
manifold valve, along with the vacuum pump. Refer back to the illustrations and tables on the previous pages as you go through the steps below.
Procedure
1. Using a wrench, turn the valve of the liquid stem counter-clockwise to fully open the valve (refer back to Figure 57).
2. Turn the gas stem valve counter-clockwise to fully open the valve.
3. Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas side service port
slightly to release the pressure, and then remove the hose.
4. Replace the flare nut and its cap on the gas service port and
fasten the flare nut securely using an adjustable wrench.
This process is very important to prevent leakage from the system.
5. Replace the valve caps at both gas and liquid side service valves
and then fasten them tightly.
Once done, this will complete the air purging process with a vacuum pump.
Test Run
Filter Installation
As part of the test run, you will need to insert batteries and power on the remote controller. To insert the batteries follow the steps below. For
information on using the remote controller, refer to its owners manual.
Procedure
37
4. Turn off the pump and leave the connections secured to the two
service valves.
5. Wait 5 minutes.
6. If the system fails to hold 500 microns or less, check all connections for tight fit and repeat the evacuation procedure.
7. Once, desired vacuum is reached, close the Lo knob of the
manifold valve and stop the vacuum pump.
8. Proceed to Finishing the Job section, below.
Never air purge with refrigerant as it can lead to refrigerant leakage which can cause bodily harm and injury, especially if inhaled.
Once the system is in Installer Mode (with Cooling Only Mode initiated), automatic operation is suspended.
Once Cooling Only Mode is disabled, the unit will return to normal operation.
Installer Code cannot be entered if the unit is running. The system must be completely powered off.
All Installer Code numbers must be entered into the system during Power Off state. (Compete shutdown of the system.)
WLAN Modules communication time will lag by about 1 minute after unit is turned back on, and in normal operating mode.
Entire lock or Mode lock cannot be set if you set heating or automatic operation through the central controller.

Be sure that main power to the unit is completely off before proceeding with these steps.
Follow all safety and warning information outlined at the beginning
and throughout this manual. Failure to do so may cause bodily injury.
Procedure
Be sure there is no power going through the Single Zone system before
proceeding with these connections as there may be a risk of electrical
shock and bodily injury.
1. At the bottom panel of the indoor unit, unsnap the latches which
cover the phillips screw heads as shown in Figure 64.
Normally, there are three (3) screws on the panel, however, your
indoor unit model may differ.
2. Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws from the
bottom panel of the indoor unit and set aside (Figure 65).
3. Remove the bottom panel (Figure 66).
Removal is necessary to gain access to the terminal block which is
situated at the bottom of most indoor units.
Note that the electrical/communications wiring is usually routed
through the back/bottom of the indoor unit (through a knockout
panel) as shown on the next page (Figure 67).
4. Using a screwdriver, connect the wires as shown on the next
page (Figure 68).
Each wire should be securely attached to the terminal block.
Pay attention to the location/connection of the green/yellow ground
cable.

5. When done, reattach the bottom panel to the indoor unit, being careful to align panel using the rear tabs.
You might need to give the panel a gentle tap with the palm of your hand to be sure it engages at the bottom.
6. Using a phillips screwdriver, reattach the screws to the bottom panel and secure.
7. Once screws are in place, re-snap the latches over the screws.
Refer back to Figure 64 as an example.
8. If all other piping and electrical wiring to the outside unit has been completed at this stage, you can turn the system on to test.
If you have not completed the piping connections, do not turn power on at this time and proceed to complete all other piping, (along with
drain hose) and wiring to the system.
